Bellway is building 150 new homes at Bowood View, off Semington Road, with 75 of these properties now complete. More than 60 families have now moved into their new homes.
Nearly all of the 105 two, three and four-bedroom houses for private sale have now been reserved, and just four properties remain for sale.
The development will also deliver 45 affordable homes available for local people through rent or shared ownership alongside public open space and land for a new village hall.
Rachel Way, Sales Manager for Bellway South West, said: “Work began at Bowood View in 2018 and we have now reached the halfway stage for construction.
“This has been an incredibly popular site, with all but four of the private homes here now sold.
“Visitors to the site have commented that they’ve been attracted by the lovely feel of the public open space provided within the development itself, which complements the surrounding Wiltshire countryside, as well as the generous parking available and the quality of the build.
“The development is situated under a mile from Melksham’s town centre, and there are good road links to Chippenham, Bath, Bristol and Swindon, ideal for commuters, while Melksham railway station is just a mile-and-a-half from home.
“This is a really lovely part of the world, with the South Cotswolds just 10 miles west of the development, and the Mendip Hills slightly further to the west, while the North Wessex Downs lie to the east.
“We still have two showhomes open to view at the development, the four-bedroom Wroughton and the three-bedroom Shipton, both of which are fantastic homes appealing to a range of different buyers.”
Bellway is contributing more than £1 million to the local community as part of the planning agreement for the development, including £500,000 towards a new village hall, more than £600,000 for secondary school facilities and £22,000 on highway improvements. A further £45,000 will be used for public art. For more information on the properties still available to buy at Bowood View, visit bellway.co.uk or call the sales office on 01225 569196.
